A census of complexes formed by mitochondrial proteins

Mitochondria are intracellular organelles that contain a large set of proteins to help them produce energy, among other functions. A systematic analysis reveals how mitochondrial proteins are organized into complexes and assemblies, facilitating the identification of the molecular mechanisms and pathways that underlie the organelle’s many functions.

This is a summary of: Schulte, U. et al. Mitochondrial complexome reveals quality-control pathways of protein import. Nature https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-022-05641-w (2023).
